Detention is harmful and the decision to detain a person should not be taken lightly. But according to Home Office statistics released today, 51% of people they detained were later released back into the community. This raises the serious question: why were they detained at all?

Waiting a decade in limbo for permanent UK residency is not immigration policy - It is a prison sentence

A very powerful thread created by @detentionaction.bsky.social on immigration detention in the UK, read more below 👇
Detention is a hidden corner of the UK's immigration system, where thousands of people each year are held in prison-like conditions, without a time limit. That's why we've put together this explainer, part of a series about the harm caused by immigration detention and what can be done about it.

Thank you @aviddetention.bsky.social for sharing. As an organisation working with people in Yarl’s Wood, we see these injustices far too often. No one should be unlawfully detained. #EndDetention
Nadra Tabasam Almas, of Leicester, was detained at Yarl's Wood detention centre in 2018 for 2-weeks.
She was unlawfully detained before her ability to work, buy food and socialise was “grossly restricted”, the high court has said.
